Exploring Majors & Career Communities

Approximately 80% of all college students change their major at least once.

Rather than choosing a major by flipping a coin or random guessing, approach the process in a wise and thoughtful way. The Career Services Center offers a variety of tools and assessments for pointing you to a fulfilling career path.

Alternatively, if you already have an area or several areas of career interest, the career center provides tailored services based on industry focused career communities. These career communities supply guidance on preparation steps, experiences, and connections needed to be competitive in the workplace.

For students exploring a variety of career paths and interests, the Career Services Center offers:
■ Individual Career Counseling
■ Career Assessments
■ Career Exploration Programming
■ “What Can I Do With This Major" Programming & Information

Career Assessment

Whether you are confused about where to begin in your career or major decision-making process, or you have recently decided that you want to change your career or major, assessment can be a valuable tool.

Learn more about yourself – your skills, interests, values, personality - to help determine what industries to explore or what career fields might be a good fit.

Make an appointment in Handshake with a career counselor to begin the process.

NOTE: Assessment will not tell you what career is best for you. Career assessment is meant to provide you with some options to engage you and guide you in career exploration.
